Early Childhood Education

The Early Childhood Education Major leads to the Bachelor of Science degree and prepares students for a teaching career in preschool through grade five. A reading endorsement is embedded in the program. The Early Childhood Education Program is designed to develop knowing, sharing, caring teachers with a Christian philosophy who are generalists in content areas and who are specialists in child development. A collaborative shared inquiry framework is used to equip students with the competencies needed to link child development theory with developmentally appropriate curricula and teaching strategies.
